The FSL Publications Web site contains FSL research papers, annual reports, FSL in Review, and the FSL Forum as well as instructions for authors on our publishing guidelines. Scientists, forecasters, OAR management, and the general public can easily find recent papers and publications by topic, author, or other criteria. This is a great convenience to our users and saves FSL staff large amounts of time and effort.

FSL Evaluation Team

Patrice Kucera

Woody Roberts

For over a decade, the FSL Evaluation Team has developed and administered technical surveys to a wide range of operational staff and managers at National Weather Service forecast offices around the country. In the past 3 years, these surveys have been administered using WEB technology developed by the E-Team. In the past year alone, nine different surveys were administered addressing a variety of subjects. The software is robust, thus allowing for a fast, efficient administration and collection of technical surveys.

Most Improved

Aviation Division Web Site

Beth Sigren

The Aviation Division Web site was completely and imaginatively redesigned while adhering to DOC guidelines. Beth also redesigned the Web pages for the Forecast Verification Branch and the Requirements and Program Development Branch, and coordinated with the other AD branches to ensure division-wide consistency in appearance and performance.
